Maintenance
Check Ink Levels
You can easily check the ink levels to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink cartridge. The
Control Panel has two ink level indicators, one for the black ink cartridge and one for the color ink
cartridge. These indicators blink slow when ink levels are low, and fast when the ink cartridge should be
replaced.
Replace Ink Cartridges
When the ink level in an ink cartridge is low, its Ink Level indicator on the Control Panel blinks slow. When
an ink cartridge should be replaced, its Ink Level indicator blinks fast.
NOTE: For the best quality prints, store ink cartridges in a location where the temperature does not
exceed 85° F (30° C).
